Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 68 Wu Tianzhu
Battle Tower.
The trial is over, but there are still many figures here.
Liu Feng, Xing Jinglei, Yi Luoxi and other core members of Xinhuo were still thinking about the battle just now.
Just now, they undoubtedly charged towards the ancient being.
“Lost.”
Liu Feng said secretly.
He already possessed much more powerful strength than at the peak of his previous life, and had briefly fought against the Nine-Star Evil. He felt that even if he could not compare to a truly high-level being, he would not be too far behind.
However, the battle just now told him that the gap was as huge as a chasm.
He tried his best to burst out, but he could only briefly match the high position in terms of lethality.
"I am at the peak of mythology and can fight against demigods."
"But it's still difficult for me, a peak demigod, to compete with the higher-ups."
After all, the high position is far above that of a demigod.
"Although, through comprehending the law monument, practicing skills, and honing in the battle tower, I can still continue to improve. I haven't reached a bottleneck yet, but..."
There is no point in forcing yourself to stay in a certain state.
My foundation is already perfect enough, and no matter how much I polish it, it won't get any better. This is the top.
On the contrary, if you can be promoted to a high position and possess high-level thinking, your progress in the power of laws will be ten or a hundred times faster.
"I have already reached the peak of demigodhood, and have perfected the demigod body and demigod form."
“And my path to high position…”
…
"The road to high position..."
Trial Officer Yuan shook his head. "Even during the most glorious era of the empire, no systematic path leading directly to a high position could be developed."
"It's not that there are none at all, but the road to a high position is unique. Even if you find a road with a higher universality, as long as a strong person has stepped on it, this road will be closed, and people who come after can only find another road."
"So, if we humans want to reach a high position, in addition to the top foundation and talent, we may also need a little bit of luck."
"Sometimes, this little bit of luck kills many top talents."
"A powerful human who has reached the state of a perfect demigod may be promoted to a high position within the next year, or he may not be promoted until ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years later. It is more likely that he will waste his entire life and still not be able to enter the door."
"but……"
He changed the subject, "The 100% chance of promotion to a high position still exists, right here."
"The nine great inheritances left here contain the original power of the nine Tianzhu masters. As long as one's own talent is sufficient and he absorbs the inheritance power of Tianzhu masters, there is a very high possibility of being promoted to a high position."
"Because these nine... no, eight roads are already very clear and unobstructed."
According to the normal process, the top-ranked trialists are eligible to try out the nine pillar inheritances one by one. If they are compatible, the trialist can accept a certain inheritance. After that, the next trialist will try.
But the trial official took a look and found that those who ranked high were all subordinates of this adult, so he simply left the entire inheritance to this adult to arrange.
This is not against the rules.
Selfishly, they also hope to leave the inheritance to "their own people". Those who are in the same organization as Lord Chi Tianzhu are their own people.
"Eight clear paths?"
Fang You nodded.
The inheritance of Tianzhu seemed to be even more precious than he had imagined.
Not long ago, when the ancient being exploited a loophole to enter the trial site, Chi Yan also exploited a loophole to enter the trial site and used his authority to obtain the identity of a trial-taker.
It was not important that Chi Yan defeated an ancient being. What was important was that after the trial, Chi Yan took this opportunity to obtain his inheritance.
I inherit myself.
Inheriting knowledge is not important, but by obtaining the original power left behind tens of thousands of years ago, Chi Yan's body and soul damage were instantly restored a lot.
Her healing speed is also greatly increased.
If Chi Yan had only recovered 30% before, now it is at least 50%.
She also figured out a way to recover - fighting and killing. She had recovered a little after killing two Nine-Star Evils. But the killing in the battle tower was not real, so she could not recover through it.
Fang You came to the place of inheritance.
In the ancient hall, nine huge pillars are lined up one after another, as if they were supporting the sky.
The first eight pillars exuded a mysterious rhythm, while the last red pillar had become dim, its power taken away.
"The Sixth Pillar, the Secret Pillar."
"The fourth pillar, the Steel Pillar."
"The third pillar, the Flame Pillar."
On some of the inherited pillars, the figure of this pillar appeared.
Steel Pillar is a being who is completely covered in a steel helmet and whose face cannot be seen clearly.
Yan Tianzhu has long flaming red hair that falls to his waist like a hedgehog, and he dances wildly with his upper body bare-chested.
Fang You looked at the pillar of heaven at the front row.
"The first pillar, Wu Tianzhu."
There was only a vague human figure above.
This person is the oldest and most powerful pillar in the Kandra Empire, second only to the Glorious Emperor. Chi Yan had received guidance from this pillar in the past.
The inheritance he left behind is also the most precious of the nine pillars of heaven.
However, whether it is inherited or not, Fang doesn't necessarily care much, what he cares about is the secret. No matter how hard the trial officer tries, he is just a high-level tool man, and his understanding of the real secret is limited.
"Chi Yan was able to survive, and the ancient gods were able to reincarnate and return, but could it be that the other pillars of Kendala perished so completely?"
He walked forward and lightly tapped Wu Tianzhu's inheritance pillar.
A mysterious word "Wu" came to his face. Before this word, he was as small as an ant. If his willpower and martial arts foundation were not strong enough, he might be defeated the moment he saw this word and lose the opportunity to receive this inheritance.
but,
Fang You raised his head slightly, looked at the huge word "Wu", and walked forward alone.
With one step, two steps, he passed through the word, smashing the entire character into pieces.
The next moment, the sky spun and he stepped into a space that was neither real nor fake.
"Inheritance space."
He is not unfamiliar.
This space is somewhat similar to when he used training cards to practice skills.
It’s just that this space is larger and his movements are not restricted.
The sun shines on the earth , and the waves crash against the long beach. At the end of the beach, an old man in casual clothes and hunched over is slowly turning around.
He wore sunglasses and had his hands behind his back.
However, he didn't have the aura of a strong man at all, he just looked like an old man strolling in the park.
To be honest, Fang You was shocked. He really didn't expect that the legendary first pillar would look like this.
“You’re here.”
"Well, here I come."
"In that case, I will give you this power of martial arts. I hope you can truly bring it into full play..."
"Wait a minute."
The old man walked over, his pace was slow, but it shortened the distance between the earth, as if even slowing down the passage of time. The ordinary and hunchbacked old man gradually developed the spirit of a peerless strong man. He raised his palm upwards, holding up a ball of mysterious inheritance, but at this time a voice of "wait a minute" sounded, and he suddenly stopped and almost stumbled.
"Young people are impatient. The inheritance process takes a lot of time. When the time comes, you can take your time to ask whatever you want."
Old Man Wu looked as if he had seen through everything.
But he stopped and said, "Ask whatever you want to ask. I still have a lot of secrets in my mind."
What Fang You wanted to know most was, of course, the battle to kill gods.
However, Chi Yan's memory of that battle was completely shattered, not to mention...
As expected, Old Man Wu shook his head.
"Change the question, change the question."
"This trace of consciousness of this old man is still left by Old Man Wu in his early years. I don't know anything about the God-killing War. However, looking at the current situation, the God-killing War is indeed a failure."
He produced a pipe, his expression calm, like an ordinary old man lying flat.
This Wu Tianzhu doesn't seem very reliable.
Fang You then changed the question.
Regarding the evil gods. The Kandra Empire has conducted in-depth research on the evil gods, perhaps more than the ancient gods. The second-in-command of the empire can no longer answer this question, right?
Old Man Wu blew out another smoke ring.
"The evil god cannot be named, described, or explored."
“Don’t feel strange, because Scarlet Moon, Dark Shadow, Lord of Midnight, etc., are not the real names of the Indescribable Evil God. Instead, we saw the Evil God and defined him, so we got these names.”
"We describe the indescribable evil god and conceptualize it."
"But the true evil god cannot be summarized by words, pictures, images, or descriptions. What we see is only the appearance of the evil god."
Elder Wu paused and continued,
“The situation in this era is very similar to the situation we faced back then.”
"The sleeping evil god is about to wake up. However, the evil god still has 'dream talk' during his sleep, and traces of his consciousness and power will be revealed from it, and the war against the evil god will begin from this."
"The evil god mumbling in his sleep is still terrifying. He can unconsciously bring about terrible disasters that only the evil god can control. However, as long as the evil god does not wake up, he can only sleep in a certain area."
"In other words..."
"Moreover, the evil gods who are mumbling in their sleep are not rational, but according to my research, the awakened evil gods are rational. However, it is difficult for us humans to guess the evil gods' rationality, reason, and behavioral logic. Maybe when they wake up, the evil gods will perish together..."
"Of course that's impossible."
Old Man Wu did not say much about the evil god.
After all, before the godslaying war, Kendra had never really come into contact with the evil god.
This generation of human elders is a bit bad.
“Ahem, although I cannot describe the true appearance of the evil god, I slaughtered countless of his servants and followers back then, just like killing chickens.”
Speaking of this, Fang You expressed his confusion.
The evil god's servant seems a little weak?
Of course they are not really weak, but compared with the ancient gods, these evil god servants seem to be able to only serve as combat units?
Old man Wu has lived in Bengbu for a while.
He just said that killing the servants of the evil god was like killing chickens, and you asked why the servants of the evil god were so weak.
"Young people, don't be too ambitious. You can't grasp the high position yet..."
Wait a minute.
Old Man Wu touched his chin .
This young man's description of the evil god's servants and the high positions of the ancient gods seemed to be a little more detailed.
It was as if he had witnessed the battle between high-ranking officials with his own eyes, and even tore a high-ranking official apart with his own hands, so he could reveal these secrets. But for a half-god, it was impossible for him to tear a high-ranking official apart with his own hands, or even to witness the battle between high-ranking officials up close.
This young man is a bit mysterious.
...but it didn't seem to be his business.
Elder Wu said, "Looking only at their individual combat power, the servants of the evil god are indeed not that good. Because these servants of the evil god did not rely on their own strength to advance. Their advancement and breakthroughs all came from the granting of the evil god."
"The evil god has the ability to elevate an ordinary person to the high position of the ninth realm. Naturally, this high position is not as good as the real high position."
"Although the ancient gods are also guys who live off their past glory, their status is high enough. Unlike the servants of the evil gods, their power is like a bubble."
“But even if it is a bubble, it is a high-level bubble. Besides, the most troublesome thing about the evil god’s servants is that there are so many of them.”
"Of course, just a bunch of chickens and dogs."
Old Man Wu totally despised the evil god's servants.
According to him, if the indescribable evil god was removed, their Kandra Empire would have flattened the evil god camp long ago, even though their number of high-ranking officials was far less than that of the other side.
Is there any exaggeration here? There is definitely some.
Someone from the other side is a traveler who has traveled to Candela! Don't I know what happened to you back then?
However, the reason why Candela's defense line was repeatedly reduced back then was because they concentrated most of their strength to prepare the God-killing plan.
Fang You didn't expose the other party.
"Not only can the evil god's servants not practice, their power comes entirely from the evil god, they are also subject to other restrictions."
"They can only be active when the evil god is active, and they will also be silent when the evil god is silent."
"When the evil god is not talking in his sleep, most of his servants can only stay on standby."
"In other words..."
"As the evil god gradually awakens, the tentacles and power of his servants will be able to spread beyond the Central Weird Realm."
Fang You understood and frowned in thought.
Elder Wu said, "After all this talk, you probably understand it, but understanding is useless. Strength is everything in this world. Only force can fight against the evil god."
"Now, digest this power. It can help you make further progress..."
"Wait a minute."
Elder Wu: “?”
What's wrong with you again?
Young man, what lies before you is the highest inheritance of mankind, the chance to reach the ninth realm, or maybe even the tenth realm!
Old Man Wu was puzzled.
Mr. Fang was also puzzled, as he clearly just came in to ask a few questions.
He went out quickly.
Elder Wu: “?”
He looked up at the sky, then looked at Fang You, "Isn't this the old man's inheritance space?"
"Although it is true, but..."
But entering the inheritance space does not necessarily mean you have to accept the inheritance.
The choice is two-way.
The old warrior can choose someone else, and the trial-taker can also choose another inheritance.
Mr. Fang just wanted to chat with the old man.
The power of Wu Tianzhu's inheritance is indeed great, and it can be said to be a step to heaven, but accepting this inheritance means that you have to embark on the same path as Wu Tianzhu.
This is someone else's path.
Fang You just wants to go his own way.
Even though Wu Tianzhu is at the tenth level, this road that leads directly to the top has no appeal to him at all.
"Don't worry, old man. There are still many excellent trial participants to come ."
What can old man Wu do?
He sent Fang You away with a curse and welcomed the second candidate.
A young man with a slender figure, like a sword drawn from its sheath, walked in.
He took a closer look and thought, wow, it seems that he is very good. The young man is very suitable to inherit my mantle. This batch of human candidates is very powerful.
Half an hour later,
Old Man Wu cursed as he sent candidate number two away.
An hour later, Old Man Wu sent Candidate No. 3 away in doubt.
Two hours later,
Three hours later,
Old Man Wu lay on the beach, looking at the blue sky and white clouds.
"Does this year's human trial have cat biscuits?"
